Mar 18, 2025 at 8:03 PMYale Lift Truck Technologies presents the MSC12, a new cost-effective electric forklift with lithium-ion battery. The compact electric forklift is ideal for the efficient and precise transport of simple loads up to 1.2 tons. It is particularly suitable for use in storage rooms or warehouses with light loads.
(Frankfurt) The new Yale forklift offers operational flexibility through the integrated advantages of lithium-ion technology, such as fast charging, extended runtime, and long lifespan, all in a cost-effective solution. The forklift is a reliable and ergonomic option for tasks in food distribution, food production, retail, e-commerce, and 3PL, or any other application where open pallets are loaded and unloaded.
“In our new compact forklift, we have integrated the technology that provides the best solution for our customers’ needs,” explains Robert O’Donoghue, Vice President Marketing EMEA at Yale Lift Truck Technologies. “In this case, it is a powerful 24V lithium-ion battery with 60 Ah, enabling quick interim charging, numerous operating hours, and a long lifespan. This gives the operator additional power when stacking pallets, contributing to the economic optimization of efficiency.”
The compact design of the new forklift also addresses customer needs regarding comfort and simplicity. Smooth operation and a low noise level are essential components of the design, contributing to a better driving experience while supporting best practices for safe handling.
A multifunctional tiller, toggle switch, and an intelligent display enhance the working conditions and efficiency of the operator. All driving and lifting functions can be performed with either hand, making the forklift easy to operate.
Operators benefit from improved control, accuracy, and precision through the proportional lift and lower function. Combined with the optimal maneuverability of the forklift and the selection of lift heights, this contributes to operational efficiency. By reducing mechanical shocks and friction during lifting and lowering, the proportional lift technology also contributes to a longer lifespan.
“One way to fully leverage the benefits and time savings of the Yale MSC12 electric forklift is to combine it with the MPC15 lithium-ion compact forklift,” explains Robert. “With the MPC15, for example, pallets can be transported more easily from the truck to the storage area than with a manual pallet truck. There, the MSC12 can take over and transport the goods from the gate opening to the shelves or racking systems of the warehouse.
Display Shows Operational Status
Another way to maximize uptime is through simplified troubleshooting. A single display on the tiller grip of the electric forklift shows the operational status and fault diagnosis, including battery status, charge status, and error codes. Easy maintenance is also a key part of the design, with easy access to all critical components and support from a comprehensive parts and service network through independent Yale dealers.
